The world's number one pianist

He Shen naturally didn't know how crazy the students outside were about this. Reading

After all, he was just preparing in advance for Professor Dan Yi to come over later.

The books that Wang Pei said he would buy for him were said to be on the way.

It's just a pity that because it is the original Western score, it has not arrived yet and is undergoing customs inspection.

It is also for this reason that he doesn't have a score at hand for him to use.

He can't just go on stage with a pile of printed paper in his hand to play, right?

Although, these scores are so familiar to both him and Professor Dan Yi that they can't be more familiar, and it can even be said that they are familiar to the extreme, and basically every mark on them can be memorized.

But...

Playing with the score and not playing with the score are two different things after all.

When playing, you can play the work for everyone without looking at the score.

But the master class later is a real class. In this kind of master class, it is better to bring a score.

Whether it is for Professor Dan Yi or for yourself, it is very useful.

That's why He Shen borrowed a piano score from the school library and took it to his piano room to practice.

He Shen looked at the piano score and had a little inspiration from time to time. He stood up and walked to the piano, put his hands on the piano, ran quickly, and listened to the sound of his performance to see if it matched his ideas.

Some of these inspirations were great, which made the overall sense of the music appear layered, allowing the audience to more clearly feel the performer's inner thoughts and the interpretation of the work.

Some inspirations were useless, but made the work seem extremely redundant and boring.

These boring and redundant inspirations were naturally thrown aside by He Shen, and he concentrated on studying those inspirations that could enhance the sense of hierarchy of his works.

Although the experience of 100,000 scales did not improve any of his works, it was obvious that this experience of 100,000 times greatly improved the flexibility of his fingers!

This improvement was invisible and not immediately obvious.

In simple terms, it can make He Shen's hands extremely flexible, and he can perform various levels of interpretation on the piano.

Therefore, he can experiment with his ideas at a very fast speed without having to think about what kind of fingering should be used for the interpretation of this place.

What fingering can make this music more prominent.

This idea has completely disappeared since he got this 100,000 times of practice experience.

When playing each idea, he can always think of what kind of fingering is most suitable in this place at the first time.

However, it is a bit regrettable that this function can only be used by himself, and it is not particularly useful for teaching.

His fingers are becoming extremely flexible and can freely perform various operations, but his students do not have such extremely flexible fingers as him.

Their fingers are stiff, inflexible, and severely sticky, revealing difficulties from beginning to end...

Therefore, in order for these students to perform their best versions, He Shen still has to continue to think.

Think about how to make those students with inflexible fingers perform the taste of the music itself well in this place.

This requires experience, a lot of teaching experience.

Unfortunately, He Shen's teaching experience is not enough, and he is always a few steps behind when thinking about students' problems.

After all, when you can calculate an advanced math problem at a glance, you see that your students can even get 1+1=2 wrong.

At this time, you should doubt life like He Shen, and think about how to use their thinking to teach them how to know 1+1=2.

To think about why these students are so bad at such basic problems.

Of course, those students are also miserable.

No, it can't be said that they are miserable.

To be precise, they are in pain and happy.

Every time they have a class, He Shen will criticize their basic level and then correct their basics.

They can quickly master and understand how to improve their piano level through He Shen's teaching.

This feeling of rapid improvement is great.

Unfortunately...

It is too much of a blow to self-confidence.

Looking at their own very difficult works, under He Shen's hands, it is as easy to play as playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or Birthday Song.

Even just listening to them play once, I can roughly play it.

This feeling, this feeling of being hit...

If you are not a masochist, it should be really difficult to fall in love.

Just when He Shen was looking at the piano score, Ji Mengting finished practicing the piano, walked to the piano room aunt with ease, and handed her the key to the piano room to the aunt.

"Have you finished practicing?" The aunt couldn't help but smile at Ji Mengting and asked her gently.

Ji Mengting immediately bent slightly and nodded with a smile.

"Auntie, I'm done practicing, thank you auntie."

"You're welcome. If you don't have a piano room to practice, just find me and I'll find a piano room for you."

"Thank you auntie~"

Ji Mengting smiled sweetly again, nodded to the aunt in the piano room, and then suddenly found that there was a large stack of posters on the aunt's table in the piano room. She couldn't help but blink her eyes, pointed at the poster, and asked in a low voice.

"That, aunt, this poster is..."

"Oh, you mean this poster, this poster is a concert held by assistant teacher He Shen and a man called Dan Yi."

Auntie picked up a poster and handed it to Ji Mengting.

When she looked at the poster, she suddenly remembered something and immediately pointed at the poster and said.

"Oh, by the way, I remember your teacher, Mengting, seems to be this, um, He Shen, right."

"Yeah, yes, my teacher is He Shen."

Ji Mengting nodded, looked at the content above, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she bowed to the aunt.

"Thank you aunt for telling me this news, I will go to find the piano score now, thank you aunt!"

After that, she ran out of the music school.

She was going to the music bookstore at the entrance of the school to see if there was a complete set of Chopin's Polonaises for sale.

"This little girl..."

The aunt in the piano room looked at Ji Mengting who was in a hurry, shook her head helplessly, and continued her work.

There is a music bookstore called Music Bookstore at the entrance of the school.

This music bookstore is specially for students of the music school. It has all the music stuff. Basically, you can find any music score you want here.

Even things like metronomes are available here.

Therefore, when all the students of the music school don't have the music score they need, as long as they care a little about the genuine version, their first reaction is to buy it at the music bookstore at the entrance.

If they are sure that the music bookstore doesn't have it, they will choose to go to the library to make a copy.

Ji Mengting is no exception. She thinks it would be a waste of time if she asked her family to send her score now.

It's better to buy a new set directly than to wait for this time.

The new one may only cost a few hundred yuan, a water-sprinkling deal.

As long as it can be solved with money, it's not a problem!

Ji Mengting quickly came to the music bookstore at the entrance of the school, knocked on the glass door gently, and then slowly pushed it open.

The wind chime on the door of the music bookstore rang as Ji Mengting pushed it.

At this moment, the boss was sitting behind the cashier, scrolling through the short video on his mobile phone, and suddenly heard the sound of the wind chime, and shouted that sentence faster than his brain.

"Welcome to the music bookstore, is there anything I can help you with?"

After he finished speaking, he reluctantly put down his mobile phone and looked at the person who came in at the door.

Just a glance, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he quickly stood up from the chair and went to Ji Mengting.

"Student Ji, oh, you're here again? What music do you want to buy today?"

Looking at Ji Mengting, the smile in the corner of his eyes was about to overflow.

After all, who wouldn't like a rich man and a big customer?

Among so many students, the only one who could make him remember so deeply was Ji Mengting.

Ji Mengting bought scores from him, and it cost several thousand yuan, just a rough calculation.

For many works, she basically only looked at them for a few days and then came to buy new ones.

Judging from this situation, it should be that the teacher asked her to pay attention to a certain part of the score, and she just came to buy a score to analyze it.

Who can not remember such a generous customer?

Facing such a customer, no matter how serious you are, it is not too much.

Looking at the boss, Ji Mengting bowed slightly and spoke very elegantly.

"Um, boss, I want a set of Chopin's Polonaise, do you have it here?"

"Eh? Polonaise?"

The boss was stunned immediately, touched his chin, and looked embarrassed.

"Ah, you are talking about this, we really don't have it..."

"No? How could it be, I remember that you sell a lot of Chopin's works?"

Ji Mengting opened her beautiful eyes and asked puzzledly.

The boss was also a little helpless, and took Ji Mengting to the door, pointing to the particularly large black poster at the door.

Especially the photos of He Shen and Dan Yi on the poster.

The boss pointed at the poster and complained.

"Before, your school's principal Zhou San came to ask me to help post this poster. I thought that since I was relying on your school to do business, I posted it."

"As a result, after about half an hour, someone came to me to buy piano scores, and especially wanted to buy the Polish version of Chopin's Polonaise!"

"This is actually nothing. We still have about a hundred copies of Chopin's Polonaise in stock. It's no big deal to sell him one copy."

"As a result, after he came, it was like a floodgate was opened. A lot of people immediately swarmed in to buy Chopin's Polonaise."

"You have to know that I am just a small bookstore. How can I have so much stock? The previous hundred copies of stock were enough. Your school has about a hundred people a year, and there are four years of study, more than five hundred people..."

"Isn't it enough for five people to practice one? It's impossible for them to come and grab the scores at the same time?"

"Who would have thought... In just one hour, all my Chopin dances were snapped up, not a single copy left..."

"After that, many people came to me to buy it, but I had no way to deal with it. I even called and asked other music bookstores in front of other schools if they could adjust it..."

"As a result, everyone agreed at the beginning, but after only ten minutes, a group of people started to change their minds. No one was willing to adjust the goods, saying that they were sold out..."

"Not only the most authoritative Polish version, but also the later Henle version, Haicheng Conservatory of Music version, and Huaguo Conservatory of Music version, are all sold out..."

"If you go to music bookstores in other places now, the possibility of being out of stock is really high..."

The boss shrugged helplessly at Ji Mengting, and his face showed that he had no way to deal with it.

Ji Mengting's face changed, and she had a bad feeling. Without any hesitation, she opened her mobile phone and looked at the class group.

Soon, she saw the news that made her even more desperate.

The Urtext in the library, the original score, was borrowed by an unknown person...

In other words, at least Jiangzhou Normal University has no Chopin's Polonaise!

So, where should she go now?

Jiangzhou University of Arts Conservatory of Music? Just as the owner of the music bookstore said, he shouldn't have it either.

As for the library...

Ji Mengting felt helpless. She wasn't a student, so naturally, she didn't have a card for the school library.

She couldn't even get in, let alone find a piano score in the library and print it out.

The owner looked at Ji Mengting's thoughtful expression, smiled bitterly, and spread his hands, saying that he was powerless.

He could only sympathize with her experience.

After all, he didn't have a piano score.

Ji Mengting thought about it and thought of someone who should have it...

That is, He Shen!

Since it was her teacher who was going to hold a concert, it was obvious that her teacher would have piano scores, there was no doubt about it.

If her teacher didn't have piano scores, how could she hold a concert?

How could she take a master class?

Although her teacher might not be able to lend it to her, she had to try.

Maybe!

The premise was that she must not let other students know about it.

Ji Mengting quickly ran back to school, looked around at the classmates passing by, and ran quickly to He Shen's piano room while they were not paying attention.

Then, she stopped at the door of He Shen's piano room, looked around again, and knocked on the door gently like a thief.

"Come in."

He Shen's voice immediately appeared behind the door. Ji Mengting carefully turned the handle, trying not to make any sound, pushed the door open, and walked into the piano room.

After entering the piano room, she immediately closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

He Shen turned his eyes away from the music score and looked at Ji Mengting who slipped into the piano room like a thief, frowning.

Before, Ji Mengting's impression on him had always been that of a little princess...

Why, now she looks a little like a little thief?

Ji Mengting didn't care about her image at all. After confirming that no one noticed her, she immediately bowed hard to He Shen and spoke very seriously.

"Teacher, there is something I want to tell you, that... I need your help."

"Say it."

He Shen said casually, then put his fingers on the piano keyboard and moved them in the air.

That is, the fingers float on the piano keyboard, aim at the position, and feel the changes in the musical timbre that can be brought about by your own strength in your heart.

This is a very simple technique, but the key is whether you can feel the color of the music you play in your heart.

Ji Mengting looked at He Shen, hesitated for a moment, and spoke.

"Teacher, I want to borrow your music score, Chopin's Polonaise score, because you will have a concert later, and I don't have the music score. I feel that I may..."

"Music score?"

He Shen's fingers stopped, raised his head again and looked at Ji Mengting, and nodded thoughtfully.

"You need music scores to help you understand music in my master class?"

"Well..." Ji Mengting nodded vigorously.

"Is that so..."

He Shen thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Okay, but you just listen directly. If you don't understand, go find Qu Shi, Teacher Qu."

"Teacher Qu?"

"The content of our class will not take care of ordinary students like you, because the purpose of our class is very clear, which is to rush to the Chopin International Piano Competition."

Hearing He Shen's indifferent tone, Ji Mengting was dumbfounded.

She repeated it again in disbelief and asked He Shen.

"Chopin International Piano Competition? Teacher, you mean, that?"

"Yes, of course that."

He Shen nodded, pointed to the music score in his hand, and explained.

"My personal advice is that you'd better not spend time on my master class. If you don't understand, you won't understand it even if you spend time listening."

"But, but..."

"No buts, your foundation is not solid now. If you spend too much time listening and then trying to understand, the time you spend is not proportional to what you can get!"

"The real audience of our master class is the teachers!"

"Teacher?"

"Yes, teachers all over the country..."

He Shen spoke calmly, not noticing that Ji Mengting was petrified.

Ji Mengting thought at first that this class was for these students, to teach them how to play Chopin's works.

But now she came to see the real teacher, the teacher who was going to teach.

The teacher told her directly that you couldn't understand the class, and that this class was for other teachers.

So that means that Teacher He's ability surpassed all other teachers?

Has he reached the level of being able to teach other teachers?

No, it may not only be Teacher He, but also Professor Dan Yi's influence.

He Shen's performance, plus Professor Dan Yi's explanation.

It has exceeded the scope of what these students can understand, and pointed to something at a higher level.

Thinking of this, Ji Mengting suddenly calmed down, and found that she was too anxious just now, and couldn't help but bowed to apologize.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I was too anxious."

"It's okay, we didn't notify you, it's normal for you to be anxious."

He Shen shook his head and continued.

"You can come, but don't listen too seriously."

"Because the level is much higher than yours, if you listen carefully, it may affect your future development."

"Our master class is for other teachers. During the class, we show the power of our music school and show our fangs."

"So..."

"Forget the inner meaning of music, just enjoy the music during the master class."

He Shen looked at Ji Mengting and smiled.
